I'm not sure what you mean by a more social solution. UWN is edited on a
wiki - the most collaborative way possible, without getting into real time collaborative editing. I think replacing UWN by email with a forum post would be a mistake. UWN is currently pushed to people, a forum post requires people to go find it.
I don't mean social as in collaborative, I'm sorry for the confusion. I meant social as in allowing for user feedback and discussion. I think this is more an argument to rethink The Fridge, than to ditch
UWN. I've been out of touch lately, but I'm willing to bet there'd be a fair bit of support for integrating The Fridge fully with the marketing team. That way, The Fridge isn't at the mercy of an exclusive coterie of editors.
I would support this, if we were allowed to post editorial style posts concerning the news. UWN, however it's delivered, can still have a place, I think. Some
people may not want to track a blog but enjoy receiving a weekly digest. It's good to work out why UWN exists and who its for. As others have said, we don't need another site. Let's make the most of what we have. Let's have a debate about what the Fridge is for, what UWN is for and how we should move them forward.
I'm sure creating a weekly digest of posts from the fridge would hardly be difficult.
So, if the marketing team does take over the Fridge, we'd need to work out how to decide who gets to be an editor, etc and what content we want it to have. Once that's sorted, it's just a matter of switching discussion to this list, rather than the close fridge-devel list. Any thoughts?
Anyone who shows the ability to write a decent article should be allowed to write for the fridge. If need be posts to the fridge could require moderation from a specific group before they were allowed to go public. This would ensure "quality control". Anyone who maintains a decent blog is probably a good candidate for writing for the fridge in this fashion. - Adam.
